Meaning
variant of Dream, the English word used as a name
The story
Jream is the word dream with its initial letter traded for a J, and Behind the Name files it exactly that way: a variant of Dream, the English word for what the mind sees while sleeping, or a hope, or a wish. The records date the experiment precisely: no appearance in the published record before the 2000s, about 17 girls that decade, about 290 in the 2010s, and about 2,200 so far in this one, already several times the whole prior total, with a boys' line alongside, about 560 so far this decade. Word names are usually older than they look; this one is exactly as young as it looks. A dream spelled so no one mistakes it for a common noun, which is, in its way, the entire point of a name.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the South Australia record for 1944 to 2017: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
